There’s been a change of location for Monday afternoon’s information session regarding the “Request for Proposals (RFP) for the Seward Park Mixed Use Development Project. Last month, the city released the RFP for the 1.65 million square foot residential and commercial project. Developers have until May to submit their applications. The info session is designed to address any questions and clarifications applicants might have/need but anyone is welcome to attend.

We’re told the location was changed because of overwhelming interest in Seward Park, the largest city-owned development site south of 96th Street. The meeting will now take place at the National Museum of the American Indian, 1 Bowling Green, at 2 p.m. Anyone attending should enter through the museum’s ground floor entrance; there’s a security checkpoint.
